No, burning some paper is far from the most extreme form of provocation.
If someone, or some group, wants to commit violence as a result of burning a single book, then they have demonstrated that they have no place in the modern world; which was likely the point of said burning.
No. If you get provoked too easily, and respond violently, you are the asshole.
Terrorism as a response to burning some paper is a good example.
But it's just paper to me. They don't get to enforce onto me what is and isn't sacred. That's the point of burning it. I can't believe you don't understand this trivial thing.
In my religion, tobacco is sacred. Anyone who is smoking cigarettes are provoking violence.
Idiotic.
MadeTheFuckUpism. It's exactly as true as Islam.
Why does the name of the religion matter here?
What if I want to prove to them that the laws they try to enforce on others don't effect me? Burning some paper seems like the most harmless way to make that point.
Honestly? You, right now, telling me I can't publicly burn the Quran.
See, that's just it. That right there. Would me burning some paper be to blame for the violence, or would the other parties willingness to commit violence over burning paper be to blame?
I think you're placing your blame wrong.
Make up your mind. Live in the past with your old ideas, hate , make believe stories and book. Or join the free modern world
Could have fooled me.
When are you converting?
